Maximizing Precision and Throughput: How the Automatic V Grooving Machine Transforms High‑End Box Manufacturing

In the realm of luxury packaging, every detail matters. The Automatic V Grooving Machine from Pinchuang elevates rigid box production by delivering flawless V‑grooves at industry‑leading speeds. Designed for jewelry boxes, cosmetic cases, electronics packaging, and more, this machine combines 16 years of R&D expertise with robust automation to help you achieve both aesthetic perfection and operational efficiency.

1. What Is an Automatic V Grooving Machine?

An Automatic V Grooving Machine scores or “V‑grooves” rigid paperboard panels by cutting precise channels along fold‑lines. These grooves allow the board to bend cleanly and sharply, forming crisp edges without cracking or surface damage. Pinchuang’s fully automated system handles boards ranging from 50 × 50 mm to 600 × 500 mm, adapting to a wide array of box sizes and structures.

2. Core Features of Pinchuang’s Automatic V Grooving Machine

• Ultra‑Precise Groove Depth Control
  Servo‑driven cutters ensure ±0.01 mm depth accuracy, suitable for delicate decorative laminates and thick multi‑ply boards.

• High Throughput
  Capable of grooving up to 4,000 panels per hour, boosting overall line productivity by over 200%.

• Touchscreen PLC Interface
  Intuitive HMI with recipe management, enabling instant recall of cutting parameters for different board thicknesses and materials.

• Adaptive Clamping System
  Pneumatic grippers adjust pressure automatically to prevent board slippage or deformation during high‑speed operation.

• Quick‑Change Tooling
  Swappable cutter heads for single, double, or custom V‑groove profiles—changeovers completed in under 5 minutes.

3. Application Scenarios

• Jewelry Boxes & Gift Cases
  Ultra‑fine grooves ensure seamless folding on laminated and suede‑lined boards.

• Cosmetics & Perfume Packaging
  High‑precision scores maintain crisp edges on decorative art paper without breaks.

• Electronics & Mobile Phone Boxes
